What is RVF file?

RichView Document is supported by 2 operating systems. The file will work on , Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is TRichView.

How to open RVF file?

The main problem with RichView Document is that the RVF file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open RVF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RVF file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install TRichView

The first step is to check if the computer has the TRichView program installed. To do this, enter the name TRichView into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support RVF files.

Programs to open RVF file

Remember to download programs supporting RVF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of TRichView with RVF files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RVF file to open in the TRichView application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RVF file with the TRichView program.

Step 3. Update TRichView to the latest version

If, despite the association of the TRichView program with the RichView Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Sergey Tkachenko page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RVF file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The RVF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RVF file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RVF file. However, remember that not every infected RVF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RVF file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RVF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Sergey Tkachenko
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RVF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RVF file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RVF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RVF to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
